Mary followed her heart 6000 miles all the way to Hong Kong, her final destination was to be the altar where her future husband would be waiting
RELIVING MEMORIES: Mary with maintenance manager Brian in the specially built cabin
On February 16, 1952, Mary boarded the ship in the Port of Southampton to endure a five-week journey to Kowloon in Hong Kong. After saying a tearful goodbye to her family in London, Mary boarded the ship with her belongings in a suitcase, which had in it a neatly folded, pale pink, silk wedding dress. Her final destination was to be the altar, where her future husband, Colin Savage, would be waiting for her.
With almost 6,000 miles between the two of them, Mary booked her one-way ticket to be reunited with her love. The ship had been due to sail a day earlier but was delayed due to the funeral of King George VI. To officially unveil the recreation, the team at Invicta Court invited Mary’s family and friends, which included four generations, alongside her extended family at the home, to hear her story and share her memories.
